🐾 MEET PENNY
Meet Penny, a very attractive Mini Fox Terrier who, through no fault of her own, is looking for a new family to love.
Penny has been very reluctantly surrendered by her owner, whose advancing age and declining health mean she can no longer provide the care and companionship Penny deserves. It's a difficult decision, made with this little girl's best interests at heart.
At just eight months of age, Penny has her whole life ahead of her, and we're hoping to find her a wonderful new home.
Penny also has an adorable little naturally occurring stumpy tail — a feature found in some Mini Fox Terriers and just another part of her charm!
❤️ LITTLE DOG, BIG PERSONALITY
Mini Fox Terriers are delightful little characters, typically bright, affectionate, alert and full of personality.
They're intelligent, inquisitive dogs who often form very close bonds with their people. Although small in stature, they're proper little terriers, with lively minds, plenty of curiosity and a love of exploring their surroundings.
They're also wonderfully companionable dogs who generally enjoy being involved in everyday family life.
🏡 PENNY'S IDEAL HOME
We're looking for a loving home where Penny can enjoy plenty of companionship, regular exercise and the opportunity to be a cherished member of the family.
As with most terriers, secure fencing, positive training and opportunities for mental stimulation will be important.
We are still learning about Penny's individual personality, so we won't make assumptions about her compatibility with children, cats or other dogs.
💕 A LOVELY LITTLE COMPANION
Penny is a very manageable 6.5 kg, has completed all her veterinary work and is at a wonderful age to settle into a new home.
We'd love to see this little girl find someone who appreciates the intelligence, charm and companionship of a Mini Fox Terrier.
Her owner has had to make a heartbreaking decision. Let's make sure Penny's next chapter is a very happy one. ❤️
